Daniel 11:10-12
New English Translation
10 His sons[a] will wage war, mustering a large army that will advance like an overflowing river and carrying the battle all the way to the enemy’s[b] fortress.[c]
11 “Then the king of the south[d] will be enraged and will march out to fight against the king of the north, who will also muster a large army, but that army will be delivered into his hand. 12 When the army is taken away, the king of the south will become arrogant.[e] He will be responsible for the death[f] of thousands and thousands of people,[g] but he will not continue to prevail.
